Description Guillaume Desmottes 2005-10-16 22:32:22 UTC
According to discussion in bug 303028, it should be good to have a way to add
custom file format in the interface.

I'm working on this feature.
Here a shot of a simple way to implement this.
I added a 'custom' entry in the GtkComboBox that open a popup when it's
selected.

One advantage is than it's pretty simple and no button is added in the
preference dialog.
But just one custom format is allowed and it is lost when we select another
format. To avoid that we should do more UI modifications and store all formats
in gconf. I'm not sure that it will be very interesting.

Please tell me your advice about the best way to do this.
Comment 2 Bastien Nocera 2005-10-16 23:03:03 UTC
I would rather see a drag'n'drop-style editor that doesn't require the user to
enter patterns by hand.
Comment 3 Ross Burton 2005-10-17 10:31:43 UTC
I agree with Bastien, that solution is only marginally better than a button to
start gconf-editor.

Comment 8 Juan F. Giménez Silva 2008-02-28 15:43:39 UTC
Hi I've added a proposal (http://bugzilla.gnome.org/attachment.cgi?id=106164), my approach to solve this would be with a combobox that allows the user to choose the pattern they want (artist, album, etc), maybe a text entry to choose the separator character, and a button to add more fields (another combobox should appear when clicked) to the filename.

I'm coding that right now, but it will take a while since I've never used GTK with c before.

I hope you like it.
Comment 9 Jérôme 2009-07-13 22:24:37 UTC
I have sound-juicer installed but not gconf-editor. gconf-editor does not seem to be mandatory to use sound-juicer. If it is seen as a dependency by the author, then it should be recognised as such in my distribution (namely xubuntu 9.4). If not (which seems relevant to me since much of Sound Juicer can be done without it), then I think Sound Juicer indeed lacks user-defined filename conventions.

The combinations that are proposed by default cover a large spectrum of possibilities but there is always a use case that has not been anticipated. For instance, I would like to be able to replace all spaces and special characters by underscores. Currently I don't think I can.

The interface of Sound Juicer is meant to be simple, but like many Gnome applications, a more powerful interface (like the one proposed by Guillaume in comment 1 : http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=319024#c1) hidden behind an "advanced" button wouldn't hurt.
